In Advance Of The Broken Arm
Kill Rock Stars
INDIE
MARNIE STERN can shred... Her debut record, "In Advance of the Broken Arm", is culled from songs written by herself in her bedroom over a two-year period, with production and drum work by HELLA's ZACH HILL.
Her songs contain a staggering number of layers, each one winding its way around the others, then counterpointed by Marnie's feminine, echoing, powerful vocals.
Despite the artful pretensions of some of her influences (DON CABALLERO, BOREDOMS, MELT BANANA and HELLA to name a few), Marnie's lyrics are her secret weapon... every line has an understated elegance floating above the mindnumbingly complex guitar work.
What makes Marnie better than any of the other hundreds of nameless and faceless tech guitar wizards is her uncanny ability to somehow transform the most complicated guitar acrobatics into beautiful and concise 3 minute pop songs.
PITCHFORK "Stern looks like Kirsten Dunst and shreds like Mick Barr. "
